Prospective Coyotes owner Greg Jamison has requested more time from the City of Glendale to complete his purchase of the franchise.

The answer from the city is no.

Glendale mayor Jerry Weiers told the Arizona Republic that he was contacted late last night, through an attorney representing Jamison, about extending today’s deadline. But Weiers confirmed that, once the day is done, the 20-year arena management deal that’s considered vital to completing the sale of the Coyotes is off the table.

“The bottom line is that Jamison himself hasn’t talked with me,” Weiers told the paper. “I do know that a group trying to help Jamison or trying to get involved with Jamison – however you want to word it – they’re trying to figure out a way to keep his deal afloat.”

Yesterday, ESPN reported that Jamison had failed to raise the required amount of capital to purchase the team from the NHL.
